Welcome to Cumback

[From Life Magazine, Mar 31, 1958]

Of all the towns in America, why did they choose to feature Cumback in their ad? Or was 1958 a more innocent, pre-internet era when the term 'cumback' didn't have the same connotations (see Urban Dictionary) that it does today ?

And yet another good reason to stay out of Indiana.

Even though I live in Indy I will not take offense... because I would rather be somewhere else, but anyway. Don't google "Cumback" while your kids are nearby.

I am pretty open minded, but that definition is disgusting. A lot of things mean something different now than back when.
